What Is the Marianist Charism? 🌟 The Marianists are distinguished by particular gifts given by God for the benefit of the Christian community. As people dedicated to Mary as a model of faith, we seek to witness to the Gospel by living in and building communities to put faith in action. #marianistcharism #faithcommunity #Marianist

Today we remember Fr. Donald Cahill. A gentle and well-travelled priest, he spent decades as a pastor, hospital chaplain, counselor and teacher at many Marianist schools. He considered his years as both a parish priest and theology teacher to be "the best of both worlds." @vianneystl @olpillar
Read more about his extraordinary life on our website loom.ly/g5F6qio.
Rest in peace, dear brother.
"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant." - Matthew 25:21

What an absolutely wonderful man! RIP Father.🙏🙏
One of the best men I’ve known. He was a blessing to us all!
Kindness and generosity personified. It was a real privilege to know him.
The deadline is quickly approaching and only a few spots remain for our inspiring and unforgettable Spring 2025 pilgrimage to Lisbon, Fatima, and river cruise with Fr. Tim Kenney, March 23-April 2, 2025.
Travel through Portugal with a group of faithful friends and see beautiful holy sites while enjoying the food and culture of this gorgeous country. Spend three nights in Lisbon, a visit to Fatima, and a seven-night Douro River cruise on the new ship, Avalon Alegria, built in 2024. This trip includes daily mass offered by Fr. Tim Kenney, lodging, most meals, all ground transportation in a private motorcoach, an English-speaking guide, and the opportunity to learn more about your faith and the work of the Marianists. There will be ample opportunity for relaxation, meditation, reflection and shore excursions to experience the quaint villages and wineries in the region.
For registration details, see our pilgrimage information sheet here. loom.ly/lhCNah8

If you attended the National Eucharistic Congress, you know what a joy it was to be surrounded by thousands of enthusiastic and faithful Catholics from all across the United States.
The Marianists were well-represented, with Bro. Mark Motz and Bro. Chicago Schuller manning our booth for vocations, and other people from the Marianist Family throughout the show floor including the Marianist Sisters, Daughters of Mary Immaculate.
Did you attend NEC in Indianapolis? If so, what was your favorite part?

Didn’t attend in person but was able to watch a lot of it on EWTN. Some of my favorite moments were watching the Mass and the multitudes receive the Eucharist, also listening to Gloria Purvis speak followed by Jonathan Roumie reminding us he is not Jesus. We are Jesus! Also loved the Praise and Worship with Matt Maher. Everything was beautiful!Glad you all were there.
Looooove!!! ♥️⚪️✝️
This weekend, the General Chapter elected new leadership of the Society of Mary. Our General Council election is an important part of this global gathering of Marianist communities bringing 33 religious brothers representing Marianist communities from 25 countries worldwide to Rome where they have been deliberating and deciding on the direction of the congregation for the next six years.
Two members will be returning to the General Council. Fr. Andre Fetis (France) was elected to a second term as Superior General and Fr. Pablo Rambaud (Spain) was re-elected as Assistant for Religious Life.
Two newly elected members will join Fr. Andre and Fr. Pablo. Bro. Dennis Bautista (United States) will be Assistant for Education and Bro. Abora Jerome Balakiyema (Togo) will be Assistant for Temporalities. The composition of this council adheres to the principle of parity, including both lay religious and priestly religious members.
Please join us in praying for this Marianist leadership team. We extend special prayers to Bro. Dennis from our US Province as he assumes his new role with the General Council.

Prayers for all the Marianist officials.
Remember a priest or brother who has passed on to his next life. Remember how he inspired you all those years ago.
...his contagious love of God's people.
...the mark his life of service has left in this world
and know that he is enjoying an eternity of joy in heaven.
Saint John Vianney, pray for all of our dear departed priests and brothers. #SaintJohnVianney #nextlife #LoveOfGod #lifeofservice #heaven #inspired

Fr. Michael Ambruso - teacher, mentor, colleague, and dear friend
Br. Walter Obester, Br. Ed Unfendorfer, Fr. Rich Kuhn, FrBob Bacherns. Humble great men , who by “ contagion” drew me into and mentored me in the spirituality and the charism. Am so grateful to them and many others.
Thank you Fr. Adolf Windish. He was a philosophy instructor at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. Father Aid as he was called helped me decide to continue my education back in the 1980s.
Join us in congratulating Fr. André Fétis on his re-election as Superior General of the Society of Mary. Let us pray for his continued commitment to say "Yes" and serve in this role.
